(T. Skeen, 2009-11-06) This movie is perfect for those kids who are just old enough to enjoy something a little longer than the standard 25 minutes of an episode. The movie keeps their attention, but is long enough to be considered a true movie. I wish they had more like this.
(Tiffany Torres, 2009-10-11) I bought this movie for my infant who gets extremely excited when mickey mouse clubhouse comes on. Movie is cute, and educational but fun!
(Aimee Schaper, 2009-10-04) MY 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old loved this latest addition to Mickey's clubhouse.
(airline ramp supervisor extraordinaire, 2009-10-01) My son is a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fanatic. He loves everything Mickey, and we own most of the Clubhouse DVDs. I like this one because it is a longer feature unlike most of the other DVDs which contain 3 or 4 of the regular episodes you can find on the Disney Channel. I wish it had stuck closer to the Wonderland storyline, but I suppose that would be more for me than for my son. If your child likes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I am sure they will enjoy this movie.
(Gregory Ehrbar, 2009-09-21) This year we've seen Abby Cadaby of "Sesame Street" go to the Muppet version of Wonderland, next year we're going to a Tim Burton vision of Wonderland, but right now we can follow Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the gang down a different sort of rabbit hole. "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" is a CG-animated daytime series for preschoolers on the Playhouse Disney schedule of the Disney Channel. It has some references to the original "Mickey Mouse Club" -- a roll call, for example -- but instead of Mouseketeers, Mickey and his pals play a more central role. The stories are simple and involve viewer participation, in the style of "Dora the Explorer." This lengthened episode takes the gang to a gentler version of the Lewis Carroll land, where the characters suggest Mother Goose more than Wonderland and the songs are short ditties. It's nice to see characters like Daisy Duck, Clarabelle Cow and others join the action with Mickey, Goofy and Minnie. Most of all, it gives young children a chance to get to know these characters as something besides merchandise. The late, great Wayne Allwine is on hand here to voice Mickey, along with his widow, Russi Taylor as Minnie. Recently announced Disney Legends Tony Anselmo and Bill Farmer voice Donald and Goofy, respectively. The program can be played in two modes for different age groups with questions for advanced play. A bonus episode of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" called "Goofy Goes Goofy" rounds out the package.
(Cestmoi, 2009-11-02) I rented disc 1 of season 1. It contains 3 parts. I finished watching only part & and 2 because they're so boring. I preferred "Black Hawk Down".
(Eric Reynaga, 2009-10-18) Once again we see how every day that goes by we see how every generation becomes more ignorant, more out spoken about a lot of nothings they know not. Just because they read it in the news paper or watch it on TV or online, it must be true right? I come from a long line of Marines from me joining after high school to my father being in Vietnam to my uncles in Korea and WWII. Yes this series has a lot of truths, the vulgarity, profanity the racism, the over cellos Coos, combat senerios, to the rules of engagement. From how Iraqis are welcoming you with open arms to then trying to kill you when your not looking. As a Marine in my opinion this series has a lot of Anti-War, Anti-Bush BS! You would think with the internet people would actually educate themselves, that's how Obama got elected! This is War , war is dirty and war is nasty, but this series make us Marines look like a bunch of un organized morons. We as Marines are trained to kill, you can call it brain washing from boot camp but that's how it is. Yes we do have a human side also. No one should be allowed to make movies or write books based on what they think war is, specially if they have never served and actually gone to war!! This series is garbage! If your a part of the ignorant generation this series will fit you just fine..
(C. Ignacio, 2009-09-30) My husband and I really enjoyed the 7 part series. It was really hilarious, and captivating. It truly showed that Marines are just day to day people, with very interesting jobs. My husband is an active duty Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines. He thought it was great the movie implemented many of the acronyms & terms the Marines use. He had to explain a few of them to me. We've recommended the series to many of our friends, especially our friends who don't know anything about the military. It was nice having seen it on Blu-ray, there are a lot of great scenes, and the special features are awesome.
(Don C. Wilder, 2009-09-27) As an OIF and 8 year Marine Corps veteran, I have always been disappointed with the portrayal of Marines on film. There's usually something wrong with the uniforms, the lingo, the attitude, or something and it tends to make the story unbelievable to real Marines. But they got everything right this time (well as close as they could). I was with 3rd AAV Battalion in '03 so I wasn't too far behind these guys. Watching this series gave me chills at points and I laughed at things no one else could understand. It sent me right back to Camp Matilda. I relived my whole war experience while watching this. I remember driving through those crossed swords too! The best part is the dialogue. I have been trying to explain how Marine communicate with each other and the is the best example I could give. Bottom line, if you want to get taste of true Marine Corps culture, watch this immediately!!! Its as accurate as I have ever seen. The attention to detail is outstanding and those characters are found all around the Corps.
(Kenneth Cooper, 2009-09-13) this movie is as close to the real thing as you are going to get. i was a Marine in iraq and i can tell you from personal experience that this movies captures the trash talking, the brown nosing that the staff nco's be doing and the real thoughts of Marines. good movie, i strongly advise you to get it if your into this kind of stuff but you might want to take caution if you suffer from ptsd.
(Dr. Joseph Suglia, 2009-10-31) This is clearly Blake Edward's most significant and most pleasant film. It has very little of the garishness, decadence, and sordidness that mar some of his other work, though I admire all of his cinematic projects. I believe it would be fair to say that Victor / Victoria is about the moment at which art stops resembling life and becomes life. The hilarious cockroach scene is a beautiful instance of the traversal of the seeming / being distinction: The restaurant IS, in fact, infested with cockroaches if the patrons believe that it is. James Gardner feels duped at first---he is attracted to a man impersonating a woman, but that figure is, in fact, a woman impersonating a man impersonating a woman. Later on, Gardner's character recognizes that it doesn't matter, ultimately, if Victor is naturally male or female. "Her" project is to contrive appearances of appearances---not to convince spectators that her appearance is natural, but to persuade them that her appearance is merely a convincing appearance, that her "truth" is purely phenomenal. How clever that the film alludes to Madame Butterfly! At times, the phenomenon is "realer" than any reality. "People believe what they see" - they ***want*** to be taken in by appearances and are inescapably disappointed by nudas veritas. I think, in this regard, of Bernstein and Toddy: both characters are gay and yet also convincingly, almost natively heterosexualized. When they are wearing their "straight" masks, are they lying? Are they pretending? The film conjures up the ancient paradox of Megara: When liars say, "I am lying," are they telling the truth? A lie is not a lie if everyone believes it, including the liar him- or herself. I think of the wonderful bedside conversation between the Julie Andrews and ultra-masculine James Gardner characters: "I find it all fascinating. There are things available to me as a man that I could never have as a woman. I am emancipated... I'm my own man, so to speak." The point, I think, is not that one appearance is a false and the other is "the truth," but that two mutually contradictory appearances can coexist simultaneously. Julie Andrews' character can switch from "Victor" to "Victoria" in the same way that some of "our" bilingual students switch from Spanish to English and then back to Spanish again. And why not? We live in, to cite one of the songs, a "crazy world / full of crazy contradictions," a world of shifting, ambiguous appearances that give life its thrill. Philosophically speaking, the film exhibits neither a pious, life-negating Platonism nor a Nietzschean celebration and aestheticization of hollow appearances. It suggests, rather, that you can shift from one phenomenal identity to another without either identity being "true" or emptily fraudulent. And why not? Humans are enormously complex creatures, and life is overwhelmingly ambiguous and complex. Dr. Joseph Suglia
(James D. Crabtree, 2009-09-06) Not that funny, although there were a few decent gags here and there (the travails of the French waiter come to mind) but the rest of it is disappointing. The musical numbers didn't even do Julie Andrews' voice justice as far as I am concerned. I watched it out of curiousity but don't see myself watching it again.
(Sylvia M. Hamilton, 2009-09-05) The movie is very good and I love Julie Andrews and James Gadner. Very funny.
(Paul D., 2009-07-21) This was a very popular movie, but it really doesn't work on a number of levels. The major flaw, is that Jule Andrews just doesn't convince as playing a man, the whole crux of the story. It's not her fault, she's simply not the kind of actress who was able to transform herself enough, to take on the mannerisms, looks, movements, facial expressions, etc of a male (even a 1930's sophisticated "gay" one), although I'm sure she gave it her all. Without at least a degree of suspension of belief (as Dustin Hoffman, a very different breed of actor, succeeded in conveying in another crossdressing romantic comedy from the same year, TOOTSIE), the movie's mechanics and set pieces fall flat. The fault lies here with director Blake Edwards, who by this point had taken to casting Andrews in all of his movies (S.O.B. is a better, though certainly less popular example of their collaboration). Granted, the role would have been a tough casting choice in any era; to get a good singer, but one with honed enough physical acting skills to pull off the role; five years or so later Glenn Close (by which point she had become a star) would have been a far better choice, and today of course, CGI would probably be used to resculpt Andrews as "Victor". So if we don't believe Andrews as Victor in the first place, the musical set numbers in which we see "him" as a female impersonator really just become laborious...we're just watching Julie in some mediocre (at best) musical scenes, in close up yet; no female impersonator is that good, the concept of the impersonator is of course illusion, and Edwards and Andrews don't pull off the illusion that we the real audience is watching the screen audience believe they're watching a female singer, who then turns out to be man pretending to be a woman). The first time I saw Boy George, I thought he was a female, having had the presence and mannerisms of a female, his illusion worked, at least the first time, even if he wasn't actually doing a female impersonation act. In SOME LIKE IT HOT, a film smartly shot in black and white, Lemmon and Curtis never convince they're females (I don't think they're trying), but the comedy is broad enough, and the filmmakers create such a sense of good will and humor with the audience, that we just accept the scenario and go along for the ride. As Victor, Andrews simply looks like a woman with short hair, a man's suit, and is lowering her voice a little. SOME LIKE IT HOT brings up two other major flaws in VICTOR/VICTORIA. Everything I tried to make a case for above could be thrown out a window if only the movie is very funny, and it's not. It's cute, it's not a bad way to spend two hours on a rainy day, but except for a few chuckles, it's just not funny. Blake Edwards tries, and you can certainly see his wheels spinning, but again, most of the jokes fall flat. Edwards tries to catch lightning in a bottle again in a running gag with a tired replay of an Inspector Clouseau type private eye; and another running gag with a waiter (Graham Stark, from Edwards' Pink Panther franchise) leads nowhere. The film finally lacks a great payoff, in fact, loses steam about two thirds of the way through, with no conflict or tension set up. It could be that after Edwards elaborately built his premise, he finally had no where to go with it (I haven't seen the early 1930's German film on which this one is based), suprising for a writer/director of his quality (and the opposite of Some Like It Hot, which has a perfect structure, conflict and resolution). The supporting cast of Alex Karras and Lesly Ann Warren perform their tasks admirably, John Rhys-Davies is given nothing to do. James Garner is James Garner, and Robert Preston kind of steals the show, but it's really not a great, bravura character performance either (and his character becomes nearly invisible for a long stretch, until his drag number at the coda, which also doesn't work very well, either as a set piece, or in terms of storyline). The movie was successful enough to have spawned a Broadway musical production a dozen years later, starring in turn Andrews, Liza Minnelli and Raquel Welch. But though Victor/Victoria is fondly remembered, it's not very good.
(James Lutz, 2009-07-12) Great movie with a great cast. Not only are the main characters well portrayed, but the supporting cast is superb as well.
(Jeffrey T. Munson, 2009-09-29) This DVD contains three scary episodes from popular children's writer R.L Stine. The first episode, "Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns, follows four young kids as they go out trick-or-treating. Lee and Tabby enjoy scaring their friends and this year, they decide to keep up the tradition. But, the tables are turned, and the friends are scared by several scary jack-O'-lanterns. "Vampire Breath" is the second episode on the DVD. Freddy and Cara are about to celebrate their 13th birthday and decide to snoop for their presents. Instead of finding presents, they discover a hidden door in the basement that hides a scary secret. The final episode is called "Let's Get Invisible". Max and Noah discover a mysterious mirror located in a hidden room in their house. The mirror has the power to make them invisible. At first, becoming invisible is fun for the boys, but as they continue to experiment, the fun turns to something else. The R.L. Stine series of books have been favorites of my children for some time, and they enjoyed watching this scary DVD. The episodes are scary, but not so scary as to give them nightmares. I recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys the R.L. Stine book series. Turn out the lights, curl up in front of the tv, and get ready for some Goosebumps!
(towitchy4u, 2009-09-26) If you LOVE Halloween as much as me and my family do, then you will love the trick or treating fest as much as we do! Halloween is a great time of year to be anything or anybody you want to be. What a way to enjoy your childhood! Brings back GREAT memories!
(Amos Lassen, 2009-09-16) "OMG/HaHaHa" The MySpace Generation Amos Lassen WaterBearer Films brings us a new film from Memphis, Tennessee, "OMG/HaHaHa" directed by Morgan Jon Fox. He looks at today's generation by giving us small vignettes of loosely connected friends and we are privy to the connections made online and in real life. What we see are kids that need to be heard, seen and understood. Their lives are interactive and we learn about the main character, Derrick, by his reactions to what goes on around him. Derrick had lots of charm and portrays the classic "emo" look. He attempts to document history and his generation through You Tube. The kids of Memphis represent a microcosm of kids everywhere today--they struggle to grow up online while their familial problems happen around them. Several of the characters deal with GLBT issues and we even have a verbal homophobic attack. The construction of the film is interesting--a series of loosely connected vignettes that are replete with stories of angst based upon pregnancy, homosexuality, dying parents and existential looks at life. The movie is improvisational and the cinematography is simple as is the narrative structure. There is a great deal of charm and as an independent film; this has a lot going for it. An independent coffee shop owner finds out that she is pregnant and a transgender girl has to tell the father that violated her for years goodbye as he dies. A 14 year old boy is becoming a father and wonders about his parenting skills and a boy reaches the age of 23 and learns that he cannot bring his boyfriend (of 6 years) home to his parents for a birthday party. Another 17 year old wants more out of life than his family can provide him and the film tries to shed some light onto the problems of them all. It is part vlog, part improvisational narrative and part mockumentary.
(E. White, 2009-09-21) I have played this DVD over several times, and will play it some more. By concentrating on one subject, the content of how to apply the methodology of the Law of Attraction is emphasized and I have found it to be very helpful in all areas. I was also impressed with the kindness shown toward each participant, many of whom were in obvious emotional distress regarding their inability to apply the teachings to their own problem.
(Rebecca Grabowski, 2009-09-14) I thought this was an interesting idea about how to get slim just by thinking. It does seem to take a bit of willpower, but it's something I think most people could do. It's a good one. I also liked The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships.
(Kathy W, 2009-09-14) These 2 discs are a compilation of Q & A clips, taken from past seminars, but these are the questions that most of us would likely ask when we want to know about weight issues. If you are familiar with the Hicks, they speak for Abraham, a collective consciousness and much, if not all, of the message is based on the Law of Attraction. This program is, in effect, aligning your consciousness to only what you do want (instead of what you do NOT want) to reach the weight you want to be. Disc 1 In disc 1, Esther/Abraham reminds us about being able to create our own realities and how aligning up properly with focused energy can bring us anything we want. She explains the need to develop a process that slowly changes the vibrational effect of what we want to achieve. Really a double-whammy program, it talks about relieving yourself of not only weight, but debt, too and anything else you don't want. This is a totally different way of losing weight than 99% of the diet programs you will normally find. She also explains the importance of the emotion and expectation you place within your thoughts and how you actually need to ALLOW wellness. It is about subtle differences in your thinking that change the resistance and change your vibration. She gives you plenty of examples in the change in the words you say to yourself. She also explains that there is no one way for everyone; no diet that fits us all, because we are all different. Disc 2 We continue with Q & A clips, as the person asks their particular question and as Abraham answers through Esther. This disc talks about creating a positive vibrational alignment with your eating experience; FEELING the emotion within where you want to be, while accepting and loving yourself where you are now; KNOWING that you are moving "downstream" (in the direction you want) and not giving up before the results can show up; not worrying about what you think others think about you; improving your own vibration, which improves the vibration of everything and everyone who comes into contact with you; not feeding a lot of energy into things that happened to you in the past; changing your CURRENT vibration; putting things into your vibrational escrow; getting excited about moving forward. Of course, that's it in a nutshell. You need to actually listen to the 2 discs to get the full effect and the emotional buy-in, and probably listen to them many times. It sounds like a good product with a ton of helpful information. For many of us, weight maintenance has been a life-long process, so it is difficult to believe that changing our way of thinking could help. I can say that I have been doing my own work with the Law of Attraction in a variety of ways and I have made a tremendous difference just by re-aligning my thought patterns. The hardest thing seems to be to BELIEVE first, BEFORE you see, because that is in total contrast with everything we have been taught as we have traveled through life. Sometimes, the very act of re-aligning our thoughts, at the very least, changes our determination, our outlook, and our way of proceeding toward a goal. I think it's worth a try and what Abraham/Esther says makes sense to me.
(Love to Learn, 2009-09-14) Came timely, perfect condition, I was surprised, thought I was ordering a book...must have been in a hurry that day! As usual, Ester is wonderful!
(alldera the conqueror, 2009-09-13) I understand that some Abraham material can get repetitive, so if you have all or most of the other DVDs you might not like this DVD because it does, from what I've been told, include a lot of people from other Abraham-Hicks DVDs. If it wasn't for that I would have given this DVD five stars. I've only seen a few of the series so there was only one interview that I had already seen. So if you are having weight issues it's a great DVD if you aren't familiar with the other ones. Esther talked to one woman and recommended that she make a list of her goals and things she could do with regard to weight and divide it into columns, from easiest to hardest. She said start with the most simple and easy things you can do and check off your list. Focus on the easiest things the most and do them the most, before you even try to attempt to tackle the harder stuff on your list. The easest recommmendation she gave was just drink eight glasses of water a day and put on three or four songs that you like and just move and dance to them each day. I did try that and I've been slimming down just after a few days. I'm starting to see my jaw-line again, and it's becoming more defined every day! :) Not only that I feel more fit and healthy and have more energy, which is the great thing about exercize. The more you do it, the more energy you have to do even more. I'm now up to working out to about 10-15 of my favorite songs and it's completley effortless and fun. I also just started to incorporate Pilates, which I tried before but it seemed so hard and tedious to do in the past. I LOVE Pilates now. And this DVD is great not just for weight loss, but for learning that the most important thing is not just reaching your goals or improving your life circumstances with more money or finding a mate or whatever it is that you've been yearning for, but learning that what we are here to do is to be a CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL and learning how to focus our beliefs and emotions to creat FOR THE SAKE OF HOW FUN AND EXHILARATING IT IS, and to realize how amazing and beautiful we are already! The seeming repetitiveness of some of their material actually was good for me because that's something that really took a while to get through my head from reading and watching Abraham. I finally GOT IT. :) I think it took a while because I was so wrapped up in worrying about my weight and finances and all that other stuff that I didn't relax enough to even get the full message. I just heard "you can get what you want from thinking positive." (the familiar "Well, I've been thinking positive, where's my stuff??") Which made me even more frustrated. BUT: Enjoy the PROCESS of creating, even the frustrating parts, AND the contrast, as Esther would say. Embrace it all. And retraining yourself to know that it's not only OK to feel good, but it's the most important thing. Learning to feel great no matter what your circumstances or what other people say or think is a very powerful place to be!
(Amos Lassen, 2009-05-15) "She Likes Girls 4" "8 New Lesbian Shorts" Amos Lassen Coming to us soon from Wolfe Video is "She Likes Girls 4", a collection of eight lesbian short films. "Babysitting Andy" from Canada is about a nine year old tomboy who has questions for her gay uncle and his boyfriend and it is very funny. "Pit stop" from the U.S. tells of a young tomboy who is accidentally left behind at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. She surprisingly meets an older woman there. "No Bikini" another American film is about a young girl who passes for a boy after she takes off her bikini top. "Don't Mess with Texas" tells of two activist dykes (and I do not use the word lesbian) who go on a road trip and have an experience at a diner in a small town. Lily is a girl gang leader in "Mars" and she meets Anna a strong willed and nice girl who is a photographer. It is a story of opposites attracting. "Gay Bash" is a new way to look at pride, this time in hip-hop music. In "I Heart Veronica Martin", Darby is a loner who falls for Veronica, a cheerleader who has just broken up with her boyfriend. This is the story of lesbian lust. "Pages Of A Girl" is about Ingrid and Silvia who meet at a bookstore and fall in love. There is also a bonus featurette which revolves around the National Center for Lesbian Rights. This anthology has something for everyone and shows that girl's short films have found their way into the canon of gay cinema.
